Rockdale County 2027 budget cuts $18 million in spending

CONYERS — Rockdale County officials have proposed a $134.97 million budget for 2027 after cutting about $18 million in departmental spending requests to balance the budget without raising taxes. The proposed spending plan, presented during the Nov. 10 Board of Commissioners meeting, represents an $8.2 million, or 6.5%, increase over the county's 2026 budget. Public safety remains the county's largest spending priority, with additional funding directed toward the Sheriff's Office, security at the new judicial and administrative complex and employee compensation. Chief Financial Officer Javaid Majid told commissioners the budget process began with approximately $153 million in requests from county departments and elected officials, compared with projected revenues of approximately $135 million. That left officials to choose between increasing revenue and reducing expenditures. "The options were either we're going to raise taxes or reduce spending," Majid said. "We have no desire to place any additional tax burden on our citizens." Instead, county officials worked with department heads and elected officials to reduce proposed expenditures while attempting to maintain existing services. Majid said the resulting $134,970,617 spending plan is structurally balanced and reflects the county's priorities: public safety, workforce retention, operational efficiency and financial responsibility. The commissioners unanimously approved the first

Conyers mayor calls for competitive pay for police officers

CONYERS — Conyers Mayor Connie Alsobrook says the city needs to take a closer look at police officer salaries to remain competitive with surrounding law enforcement agencies, emphasizing that strong training programs and a positive department culture may not be enough to attract and retain officers. During the Nov. 4 City Council meeting, Alsobrook raised concerns about compensation at the Conyers Police Department after attending the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference, where she participated in discussions about law enforcement training, officer safety, emergency preparedness, and recruitment. She said the experience reinforced her appreciation for the training and procedures already in place at the Conyers Police Department. Alsobrook said the city and Rockdale County rank near the bottom of metro Atlanta law enforcement agencies in compensation, citing positions of approximately 26th and 27th in a regional comparison. She did not identify the source of the rankings or specify whether they reflected starting salaries or overall compensation. "One of the things that we're going to have to figure out is how we compensate these people for doing the right thing, coming out, putting their lives on the line for us," Alsobrook said. She illustrated the challenge by recounting a conversation
